Mental health and transcatheter aortic valve replacement: A scoping systematic review.
Article in General hospital psychiatry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo systematically review the literature on mental health symptoms before and after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and describe reported clinical associations with these symptoms.
methodsUsing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines, we reviewed studies involving pre- or post-TAVR mental health assessments or psychiatric diagnoses.
resultsEighteen studies were included. Before TAVR, clinically significant depression and anxiety prevalence is 15-30% and 25-30%, respectively, with only a third of these meeting diagnostic thresholds. These symptoms generally improve over the year post-TAVR. Depression is associated with functional impairment, multimorbidity, and lower physical activity; few associations have been described in relation to anxiety. Inconsistent evidence finds depression associated with post-TAVR mortality. One notable study found persistent depression independently predictive of 12-month mortality, and another found depression and cognition to have additive value in predicting mortality risk.
conclusionsMental health symptoms occur in a significant proportion of the TAVR population. Although symptoms tend to improve, the associations with depression, particularly persistent depression, call for further investigation to examine their associated outcomes. Research is also needed to understand the relationships between mental health conditions and cognition in TAVR-related outcomes.
